Susan's Place Transgender Resources

I have sort of known that I am a girl living in a mans body and I have done all of the things already described in this post.  I started taking anti-androgens several years ago but had to stop for fear of my wife finding out. About 10 months ago she left me allowing me to find my true self that has been there in the background for many years. I started taking anti- androgens and oestrogen about 4 months ago, in stages, and I have been taking the full dose for about 2-3 months.  The difference is amazing.  I now feel like myself for want of a different way of describing it.  I have just been reading a post from somebody who wants rid of their <testes>! I just feel <they are being silly,> because the meds have made mine rather an irrelevance.  I don't know where I will take this but I am just so content with myself.  I have to be Male ish during the day and when the day's work is over I can put on my favourite dress or skirt for the evening which feels much more like the person I really am. P.S. I am 58 going on 59.
